[PATCH 0/4] RFC: Add Meson build

From: Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi at gnome.org>

This is an RFC/work-in-progress patch series for adding a Meson build to
Wayland.

It's not ready for merge, as it has a couple of issues:

 - the Doxygen-generated man pages are installed under $datadir/man,
   instead of $mandir, because of Doxygen peculiarities, like forcing
   the creation of a `man3` directory for no reason; additionally, Meson
   doesn't really like it when custom targets start having
   sub-directories. The current system is the least terrible I could
   come up with, but the only way I figure it can be solved appropriately
   is to write a Doxygen module for Meson. Sadly, I don't have the time
   to work on it.
 - no Publican support; I've asked on the #wayland IRC channel, and it
   seems it's mostly a relic of the initial documentation effort; it's
   a lot easier to just dump the Doxygen-generated HTML, though it's
   probably worth spending some time making the CSS nicer, given the
   default Doxygen style being less than stellar.
 - I haven't thoroughly tested this build. I've diff'd the installed
   trees, and checked the exported symbols; I've also rebuilt GTK+ (both
   stable and development branches) on top of it, but it *definitely*
   needs some more testing.

I wanted to drop this on the mailing list before I accidentaly leave it
to rot on my repo.
